After what seemed like forever, Caspian finally collapsed on the sofa while Larry continued working.
Without any conscious reasoning, Larry firmly believed that Joan would return. He had a very strong gut feeling about it.
Perhaps, it was their couple's telepathy as a result of being together for a very long time.
From dusk till dawn, Larry did not shut his eyes at all.
"Ahh!" The man woke up from the sofa with a loud yelp in an attempt to sober up.
He scanned the room, only to realize that he did not go home last night.
Damn it, Jessica is going to be so cross! Caspian rose to his feet and fixed his dressing, attempting to freshen up.
Thud! The door was flung open.
Speaking of the devil... With bated breath, Caspian stood aside and avoided eye contact with her. He was afraid of landing himself in hot soup.
"What are you doing here?" Larry threw her a straightforward question.
"I've been helping you to search for Joan. Could you return the favor and treat Caspian better?" Jessica complained.
What's this all about? Have I not been nice to Caspian? Larry got up and walked toward Jessica with a smirk. "I didn't request him to stay and keep me company."
Although he was wearing a smile on his face, he was anxious to find out about Joan deep down. "Have you found Joan? How is she now?"
There was a glimmer of gloom in Jessica's eyes as she shook her head. Although there were clues of Joan's whereabouts, she failed to find her when she rushed over.
Larry felt extremely dejected.
Seeing so, Caspian held Jessica's hand and led her out of the office.
